http://www.grayandwhitelaw.com/ Ever wonder how an attorney gets paid? While it varies depending on the law firm and type of case, many lawyers get paid after a case is won. For example, lawyers typically take class action lawsuits on a contingent basis, which means they only get paid if they win. Having to pay a lawyer part of your winnings can be concerning for many people; however, in class action lawsuits, it is nice to know that lawyers are paid out of the common fund of money. In fact, the business that lost the suit and is guilty of the wrongdoings you suffered has to pay the legal fees. This means that in a class action lawsuit , lawyer fees are directly paid by the company at fault, and the court reviews the fees to ensure everything is fair for everyone involved. To seek experienced class action litigation attorneys who work on a contingent basis, or if you aren't sure if you are even part of a class action lawsuit, contact the Law Office of Gray and White in Louisville for a free consultation at 888.450.4456 or online at http://www.grayandwhitelaw.com/contact.cfm .

Top Australian wealth manager AMP said it will defend two class action lawsuits filed agait it following damaging revelatio from a government-ordered inquiry into the country's financial industry.
AMP confirmed that lawsuits have been filed by global law firm Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and Melbourne-based firm Phi Finney McDonald on behalf of some shareholde.
"AMP intends to vigorously defend the proceedings," the company said in a statement ahead of its annual general meeting later on Thuday, where angry shareholde are expected to challenge board re-appointments and executive pay.
Three directo quit AMP on Tuesday following the departure of the company's chairman, chief executive and in-house lawyer, after revelatio at the inquiry that the once-venerable firm had lied to regulato, allegedly doctored an independent report, and charged custome fees for no service.
Quinn Emanuel said on Wednesday it had filed a class action on behalf of shareholde who have seen AMP's market capitalization plunge by around A$2 billion ($1.5 billion) following admissio made by AMP executives during the inquiry.
"The class action alleges that, amongst other things, AMP breached its continuous disclosure obligatio and made misleading statements, causing shareholde significant loss," the firm said in a statement.
Last month, Australian litigation financier IMF Bentham had said it would fund class action proceedings agait AMP that would be conducted by Phi Finney McDonald.
Shares in AMP closed at A$4.08 on Wednesday, giving the firm a market value of A$11.91 billion.

Class action

A class action, class suit, or representative action is a type of lawsuit where one of the parties is a group of people who are represented collectively by a member of that group. The class action originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, but several European countries with civil law, have made changes in recent years to allow consumer organizations to bring claims on behalf of consumers.

Description

In a typical class action, a plaintiff sues a defendant or a number of defendants on behalf of a group, or class, of absent parties. This differs from a traditional lawsuit, where one party sues another party for redress of a wrong, and all of the parties are present in court. Although standards differ between states and countries, class actions are most common where the allegations involve a large number of people who have been injured by the same defendant in the same way. Instead of each injured person bringing their own lawsuit, the class action allows all the claims of all class members—whether they know they have been injured or not—to be resolved in a single proceeding.

List of My Life as a Teenage Robot episodes

The following is a guide to the episodes of the Nickelodeon animated television series, My Life as a Teenage Robot. The show officially began on Nickelodeon on August 1, 2003, and new episodes ended on that channel in 2005, though reruns did air for North America from 2008 to 2009 when Nicktoons picked the show up for Season 3. The series was canceled May 2, 2009, with all 40 episodes aired.

Plot

The story is about a lawsuit concerning injuries caused by a defective automobile. The suit takes on a personal dimension because the injured plaintiff's attorney, Jedediah Tucker Ward (Gene Hackman) discovers that the automobile manufacturer's attorney Maggie Ward (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) is his estranged daughter.

Jedediah Ward is a liberal civil rights lawyer who has based his career on helping people avoid being taken for a ride by the rich and powerful; he's pursued principle at the expense of profit, though he has a bad habit of not following up on his clients after their cases are settled.

Jed's daughter, Maggie, has had a bad relationship with her father ever since she discovered that he was cheating on her mother, Estelle (Joanna Merlin), and while she also has made a career in law, she has taken a very different professional route by working for a high-powered corporate law firm and has adopted a self-interested political agenda.

Class Action (band)

Class Action and Phreek were disco and post-disco musical projects. The original Phreek comprised Christine Wiltshire, Leroy Burgess, Patrick Adams, Stan Lucas and others. Class Action was directed by Larry Levan and featured Christine Wiltshire as vocalist. Both groups are best known for their club hit, "Weekend", written by James Calloway and Leroy Burgess. The 1983 version was remixed by Morales and Munzibai and Larry Levan and produced by Bob Blank and Lola Blank.

History

The song "Weekend" was originally recorded on Atlantic Records by Patrick Adams' studio group Phreek of which Wiltshire was a member. The song was heavily played by Larry Levan yet it was commercially unavailable so it did not enter any charts. In the early 1980s, William Socolov, the co-owner of Sleeping Bag Records, invited Levan to make a new version of "Weekend". It became more successful than the original version, peaking at No. 54 on the British pop chart and No. 9 on the BillboardDance chart.

Plot

In 1989, Josey Aimes flees from her abusive husband back to her hometown in northern Minnesota with her children, Sammy and Karen, and moves in with her parents, Alice and Hank. Hank is ashamed of Josey, who had Sammy as a teenager by an unknown father, and believes Josey is promiscuous. While working as a hairdresser, Josey reconnects with an old acquaintance, Glory Dodge, who works at the local iron mine and suggests Josey do the same. Josey's pursuit of the job further strains her relationship with Hank, who also works at the mine, so she and her children move in with Glory and her husband Kyle.

It can refer to a course itself, e.g., a class in Shakespearean drama.

It can be the group of students at the same level in an institution: the freshman class; or the group of students which graduates from the institution at the same time: the Class of 2005 (cf.alumnus/a). The term can be used in a slightly more general context, such as "the graduating class."

It can also refer to the classroom, in the building or venue where such a lesson is conducted.

In some countries' educational systems (such as Taiwan's), it can refer to a subdivision of the students in an academic department, consisting of a cohort of students of the same academic level. For example, a department's sophomores may be divided into three classes.

In countries such as the Republic of Ireland, India, Germany, and in the past Sweden, the word can mean a grade: 1st class is ages 4–5, 2nd class is ages 6–7, 3rd class is ages 8–9, 4th class is ages 9–10, 5th class is ages 10–11, 6th class is ages 11–12, and 9th class is ages 14–15.

http://www.grayandwhitelaw.com/ Ever wonder how an attorney gets paid? While it varies depending on the law firm and type of case, many lawyers get paid after a case is won. For example, lawyers typically take class action lawsuits on a contingent basis, which means they only get paid if they win. Having to pay a lawyer part of your winnings can be concerning for many people; however, in class action lawsuits, it is nice to know that lawyers are paid out of the common fund of money. In fact, the business that lost the suit and is guilty of the wrongdoings you suffered has to pay the legal fees. This means that in a class action lawsuit , lawyer fees are directly paid by the company at fault, and the court reviews the fees to ensure everything is fair for everyone involved. To seek experienced class action litigation attorneys who work on a contingent basis, or if you aren't sure if you are even part of a class action lawsuit, contact the Law Office of Gray and White in Louisville for a free consultation at 888.450.4456 or online at http://www.grayandwhitelaw.com/contact.cfm .

Class action lawsuit filed against CCSD's Health Trust Fund

Class action

A class action, class suit, or representative action is a type of lawsuit where one of the parties is a group of people who are represented collectively by a member of that group. The class action originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, but several European countries with civil law, have made changes in recent years to allow consumer organizations to bring claims on behalf of consumers.

Description

In a typical class action, a plaintiff sues a defendant or a number of defendants on behalf of a group, or class, of absent parties. This differs from a traditional lawsuit, where one party sues another party for redress of a wrong, and all of the parties are present in court. Although standards differ between states and countries, class actions are most common where the allegations involve a large number of people who have been injured by the same defendant in the same way. Instead of each injured person bringing their own lawsuit, the class action allows all the claims of all class members—whether they know they have been injured or not—to be resolved in a single proceeding.
